Wild Heart Gallery

Masters of Wildlife Art 2024, International Art Competition

Submit your best wild animal art and photography. We want to see mastery of your art genre and style, whatever it may be. 2D and 3D.

We embrace realism as fully as abstraction. We love loose brush strokes as much as highly detailed photographs. We live for finely crafted ceramics as much as mixed media experiments. We. Love. Art.

Submit your portraits, wildlife scenes, animal activism messages. Show us your wildlife in the air, land, and water.

This virtual exhibition is looking for the best expressions of wildlife art today. This is a field of art that is changing rapidly in the 21st century. Wild Heart Gallery's mission is to celebrate and elevate animal art in all art styles, traditional, experimental, and beyond.

At Large, Animals on the Loose

Submit your art and photography of animals on the loose, in the wild, unleashed, outdoors, in the water or the sky! 2D and 3D artwork and photography desired.

For this exhibition, submit your best animal art and photography work that shows us the spirit and idea of being free, uncaged, on the loose, and at large. Animals can be wild, feral, domestic, or anything in between. 

All entries must be the original artwork of the submitting artist. Artwork must not have been accepted to one of our previous shows. 

Quick note: We are replacing "Special Merit Awards" with "Finalists" to more accurately describe the caliber of artwork in that category. We are repeatedly floored by the quality of entries received and wish to honor our artists appropriately.

Animal Portraiture Open, International Open Call

Submit your art and photography animal portraits. There are so many styles of animal portraiture in the world now, show us yours! We are especially happy when a portrait tells us something about the animal. This could be anything from their personality to their favorite food. Something as simple as the angle of a collar or whether or not a lion's mane is perfectly groomed can give hints about the subject of your art or photography.

We are looking for 2D and 3D artwork and photography that falls into a variety of art style and genre categories: Abstraction, Portraiture, Surrealism, Realism, Pop Art, Expressionism, Assemblage, and more!
